How To Fossilize Your Hampster

It was because of his walks in the woods,
that the woods are still there.
Gloryland.
Beneath the seabed,
secrets of the nautilus engineered by chance.
Talking, Eco-animated flatland.

Carbon capture wing tones, slow the flow
of angels, pins and brains.
Can't see the desert for the trees.
Leaf Antlers--
If only they could talk.

Deep thoughts and oddball interpretations;
a caravan rumbles to a stop.
Approval trap--
It's all in the detail.

Just a whiff could wipe out bad memories.
So we replied with speed--
When the moon blows,
we flummox to a different earth beat.

Oh my God, what if we find aliens?
